LinBox.CharPoly

Compute the characteristic polynomial of a matrix.

Syntax

LinBox.CharPoly(M:MAT, X:POLY):LIST

Description

X is an indeterminate, and M is a square matrix whose entries do not involve X.

This function returns the characteristic polynomial of M in the indeterminate X computed by the ApCoCoAServer using LinBox functions.

  • @param M A matrix with whose components do not contain the indeterminate X.

  • @param X An indeterminate.

  • @return The characteristic polynomial of M in the indeterminate X.

Example

Use R ::= Z/(19)[x];
LinBox.CharPoly(BringIn(Mat([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]])), x);

Use R ::= Z[x];
LinBox.CharPoly(Mat([[1,2,3],[4,5,6],[7,8,9]]), x);
